Apparently I can't just pay the $75 for a 'Tune Option Change' to move to a Stage 3 DSG tune, I have to pay $175 for an entire new DSG tune....
If you had bundled it with your custom ECU tune, you could have saved $75.

Yeah, I didn't think I would need to though, since I already had a DSG tune. I didn't think I'd have to rebuy a whole new one :(

Oh well, live and learn.

In an unexpected turn of events, I received my first revision of the tune from Nick before getting one from Sneeky. Roads are dry, so going to grab some logs now.

Dave was doing a live Q&A on Facebook I was watching, almost asked him as a joke "When am I going to get my next revision from Nick?"

10 minutes later, noticed the email coming in 🤣🤣

Log 1
Log 2
Log 3

Sent log 3 over to Nick. We'll see what he comes back with.

Here's a simple comparison between the base and first revision.

Felt pretty similar while driving, didn't feel any major changes. Looks like it was changed so the boost doesn't drop when shifting to 4th 6500rpm, the base map dropped to about 22psi before starting to build back up. This one just carried the 28psi right through the gear change...

Yeah, it was Sneeky we didn't know about, but could assume the same. He's the one who doesn't have lpfp duty on his logs.

Thank you for at least not using words like "toast" this time 🤣

Ok, EQT is killing it. Another revision less than 24 hours after sending in logs. Probably won't be able get new logs until tomorrow night though.

Even Nick is starting in with the LPFP replacement 🤣🤣

Also, not saying him or any of you guys are wrong. But my goal isn't to push every last little bit out of the car/turbo, but max out the hardware I have. If the limiting factor is the LPFP, then that's the limit.
